Welcome to the 2026 Maine Grouse Season
After a long year of waiting, the North Maine Woods Grouse season is upon us! Always enjoying our Fall home base at Chandler Lake Camps and Lodge. Time to take



@Marshpaddler spent his entire life in the woods and waters. He will happily carry on a conversation about the changing face of our landscape, hunting opportunities, and general history. As a lifelong outdoorsman from a NJ Baymen family that used the bounty of the woods and waters for over a hundred years, he began his guiding career as a teenager, some 40 years ago, with big-water duck hunts the norm at the time. Moving from Chesapeake Bay Retrievers early in life to Versatile Dogs such as GWP’s and now his beloved Llewellyn Setters, his love of upland hunting leads him throughout our great nation in pursuit of upland game birds in front of a stylish point. We would love for you to join us! From the Prairies of North Dakota, to the North Maine Woods and the adventure of following the American Woodcock migration through the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region. Beginning in South Jersey, throughout the famed coverts of Cape May County, and ending in North Carolina, with the addition of Wild Quail in the pursuit. Reach out to discuss your next Marshpaddler Adventure. We’d love to make it happen!

I have been doing this for a long time. Honestly, partly because I am afraid these outdoor pursuits of ours may die with us. My heart will be full knowing that there will be another generation to carry the torch. Please reach out for how we can make something happen for you, in the field or in the kitchen!

What an incredible Blessing my life has been. To be the son of a Bayman, generations of men that understood the bounty of the great outdoors, and able to share the Love and Joy of my Mother's Food as part of that Experience...

Fair Chase and Ethics are not just buzz words here. We truly believe in honoring the game we pursue. Not only abiding by man's law but most importantly, God's Law.

@marshpaddler's famous quote about Grouse Hunting: 'I can make this as hard on you or as easy as you would like...' That being said, making our experience available to as many as possible has led us to create relationships that provide many opportunities for those who may have special needs.
@Marshpaddler is committed to a Lifestyle, His story, the food, experiences, and the Blessings that life has bestowed upon him.
Join us in the field or in the kitchen, just make sure you:
